Usually a little more per size than a standard range, because the bigger glass units cost more to make and handle.

They are engineered for the sizes they are sold in. That is exactly why their maximum sizes are often smaller: the frame is slimmer, so each range has its own limits.
Do I need planning permission for a roof lantern in Newark-on-Trent?
Often not, but it depends on the roof, the property and whether it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your district, borough or unitary council before ordering.
